George McQuinn of the Purgatory Freestyle Team launched into a D spin during the aerial competition last weekend at Chapman Hill. Skiers from throughout the USSA Rocky Mountain Division competed in the two-day BP Bump Off, and McQuinn took two golds in aerials.

The top junior freestyle skiers in the United States Ski and Snowboard Association Rocky Mountain Division descended on downtown Durango – Chapman Hill – for a two-day competition for aerialists and mogul skiers.

The skiers battled soggy conditions but managed to stage mogul, dual moguls and double aerials at the first BP Bump Off last weekend.
